Laboratory for Introductory Astronomy

该学院正在发展一个本科天文学实验室。 天文学课程一直是自然科学部的一部分， 过去四年的课程。 实验室课程使 可能与赠款可以同时采取 行星或银河系天文学 它是在一个介绍性的 水平 这些设备将由学习如何使用 望远镜，计划观测，使用恒星坐标系， 拍摄天体事件并发展自己的图像。 此外，学生还可以通过激光来研究行星表面。 视频光盘图像。 学院将把这个奖与一个同等的 资金的数量。

The college is developing an undergraduate astronomy laboratory. Courses in astronomy have been part of Natural Science Division curriculum for the past four years. The laboratory course made possible with the grant can be taken concurrently with either Planetary or Galactic Astronomy. It is taught at an introductory level. The equipment will be used by students learning how to use a telescope, plan an observation, use the stellar coordinate system, photograph celestial events and develop their own images. Furthermore, students study planetary surfaces by means of laser video disc images. The college is matching the award with an equal amount of funds.
